The sermon addresses the contemplation of how one hopes to die, leading to a deeper reflection on how to live a meaningful and fulfilling life until that moment. Drawing from personal anecdotes and biblical examples, the sermon emphasizes the importance of living each day for God, being present in each moment, and being prepared for when Christ comes. The sermon highlights the life of Abraham, who, despite his struggles, lived faithfully and died satisfied, serving as an example of finishing life well. It also references J.I. Packer's book "Finishing Our Course with Joy," which offers wisdom on aging gracefully and living to God's glory. This sermon contrasts the hopeful Christian perspective on life and death with the secular focus on prolonging life, urging the listener to find comfort in the promise of eternal life through faith in Jesus Christ.
